"Lord, the soldiers are here!" Tian Heng came behind Chen Qing and reported with a calm face.

This time. The main battlefield in the southeast is in charge of the main battlefield by the Western Navy, and the Doushen Army has almost no chance to participate in the war!

The northern side may receive news of a surprise attack on Jiangnan at any time, and the army in the north cannot be withdrawn, and even needs to be ready to support at any time, in this case, it is impossible for Xu Hu, an extraordinary general, to leave the north without permission.

This is an opportunity for the Western Navy!!

Tian Heng was calm on the surface, but his heart was boiling

In the past few years, the development of the Western Navy has been getting better and better, especially after the northern refugees joined, the West Navy Islands developed, and commerce and trade gradually circulated, the reputation of the Western Navy gradually rose among the people, and it became the second largest military force in Jiangnan in addition to the Doushen Army.

But the difference between the gold content of the second and the first is very large!

Jiangnan was completely rescued and rebuilt by the Doushen Army, coupled with Chen Qing's various benefits to the Doushen Army at the beginning, so that the Doushen Army became the belief in the hearts of the people of Jiangnan, and now any person, as long as it is the identity of the Doushen Army, is popular on the street, and its status is the peak of the martial arts so far, most of the women in Jiangnan are also proud to be able to marry the Doushen Army, and children who are willing to join the army will also consider the Doushen Army at the first time, not the Western Navy.

This led to the fact that it was extremely difficult for the Western Navy to recruit new troops!

Fortunately, he has a group of Tian Jiajun descendants to support, otherwise he would not be able to support him, the god of the West Sea, into an army, which can be seen by looking at Wei Chi Feihong, how embarrassing it is, the people are free to join the army, and the fighting god who has no reputation is worse than a mascot.

Fortunately, thanks to the Dragon Palace incident, the addition of Zhen Zhen and others greatly enhanced the power of faith, allowing him to at least improve the overall quality, and in terms of strength, for a while, the Western Navy, especially the descendant troops, also benefited from Zhen Zhen and others, which was much stronger than the Doushen Army.

But Tian Heng knew in his heart that this was only temporary.

The power of Shinto flow lies in faith, the Doushen Army is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, as the quality of the people in Jiangnan is getting higher and higher, it is only a matter of time before they catch up, as long as most people still believe in the Doushen Army more, Xu Hu's status will always be the first person in the Jiangnan military.

After a long time, the Western Navy could only take a back seat.

This time is a good opportunity, as long as you can play a majestic role, although it is unlikely to change the beliefs of the people in Jiangnan, but the population of Southeast County is also quite large!

Southeast County is mountainous, at first glance it is the logistics granary of the future, and the population will definitely increase significantly, as long as this wave is performed well, so that the people of Southeast County will believe in the West Navy more, then coupled with the faith of the people of the West Island, the West Navy will have a chance to compete with the Doushen Army!

Chen Qing looked at Tian Heng with a hint of heat in his eyes, and smiled, it is a good thing that Tian Heng is motivated, at least this battle will definitely go all out.

The choice of Tian Heng is also to balance the forces, in fact, to guard the North Sea, so that Tian Heng's Western Navy is more suitable, after all, he is better at water warfare, and with the assistance of the Dragon Palace, he is more handy.

But Chen Qing knew that if this arrangement was made, Tian Heng would definitely be dissatisfied, and if he was dissatisfied alone, the future of the Western Navy would be even less optimistic, which was not a good thing.

The new military situation must be developed as soon as possible, and each military situation of the Shinto stream has different capabilities, all of which are needed by the forces, and unilateral dominance is extremely unfriendly to the entire force.

Xu Hu's status in Jiangnan has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is impossible to change it in the short term, and the only way to improve the strength of other armies is to find a way from a new territory, which is also Tian Heng's current idea.

Wei Guogong sent a billion northern people, which slightly alleviated the embarrassment of the Western Navy, after all, in the Xihai Islands, the northern people can rely on the Western Navy, so the Beimin who moved over was more convinced by the Western Navy.

But the number is not much, the Xihai Islands are vast and sparsely populated, a large amount of land is waiting to be reclaimed, and most of the billion-year-old northerners want a stable life, and very few are willing to join the army, in the past six months, the number of immigrants has exceeded 500 million, but the number of people willing to join the army is not even 500,000, and the vast majority of the reasons for this are because the island countries are too scattered, and geographically, those places need more farmers and traders to maintain operations.

Therefore, there are more people who do business and farm, but there are very few people who join the army.

And now the southeast county is different, here is mountainous, regional transportation is not suitable for the development of trade routes, can only be used as a granary logistics city, such a city attribute is doomed, young people either choose to farm in their hometown, or choose to come out to break through, and in the case of a business atmosphere is not strong, the willingness to join the army will be stronger, and it can arouse more enthusiasm.

The wind of joining the army in the southeast generation has been very strong since ancient times, if this battle can be fought beautifully, save the people of the southeast from fire and water, and add the brand of Qi Guogong, it will definitely be able to erect a lot of prestige in the southeast.

"Where's Zhen?" Chen Qing looked back at the other party.

"I'm taking my men to check the terrain of White Cloud City." Tian Heng hurriedly replied.

Chen Qing nodded slightly, Tian Heng's attitude towards Xi Zhen has eased a lot these days, and he also knows that the previous conflict with the Dragon Palace was mainly due to the unequal strength and weakness!

In order to fill the uneasiness in the hearts of the descendant troops, Tian Heng must use a large number of beliefs to strengthen his own people, this unfair attitude will naturally cause the dissatisfaction of the troops in the Dragon Palace.

This knot is untidal, it is an instinctive self-preservation mentality.

There is Xu Hu to chase after above, and there are Xizhen and others to beware of, Tian Heng can maintain the status quo and not jump, which is already very leadership.

But now once the southeast is laid, the situation will be different.

The foundation of the southeast is very large, enough for Tian Heng to have the capital to catch up with Xu Hu, and the people have faith, Tian Heng does not have to be completely partial to his descendants, the new sources of troops are pouring in, for the growth of the Western Navy, it is natural to treat them fairly, since the new sources of troops are fair, there is no reason to continue to suppress the Dragon Palace.

And with the basic plate of enough faith, he does not have to worry about the problem that the Dragon Palace is too strong, because as long as he is the same as Xu Hu and has a large enough basic plate, it is only a matter of time before the overall strength of the Western Navy catches up with the Dragon Palace troops, so there is no need to be too anxious.

This is the reason why Chen Qing chose to let Tian Heng attack the southeast.

Xu Hu is loyal to himself, it is completely what Chen Qing says, and he has no opinion, Tian Heng is a new upstart who has joined temporarily, so he naturally has to appease him and let him eat some sweetness, otherwise his power will be unstable.

"Lord." At this time, Tian Heng was much more comfortable when he called the lord, obviously Chen Qing was able to hand over the southeast campaign to him, and he was really giving up, which made him very grateful.

After all, what Chen Qing promised him back then has actually been completed, the god of the West Sea, the city of the West Sea, the rivers of the West Sea, and so on.

All kinds of real benefits can prove that people are sincere to themselves.

"Rest assured, my lord, I have probably figured out the situation almost, the Nanban has entered the customs this time, the Nanban army distributed in Southeast County is more than 700,000, and the Nanban army in Baiyun City is about 100,000, with the strength we are preparing now, it is not difficult to take it."

"The Southern Barbarian Army is good at mountain warfare, are you really sure?" Chen Qing looked at each other.

He is not good at military affairs, this Shinto stream has abilities that can be shared, such as attributes, force, techniques, and so on, but some cannot be shared, such as political ability, military ability, these are soft powers, but these soft powers are very important.

"Rest assured, Lord!" Tian Heng assured: "The last general has fought a lot of battles with these Southern Barbarian armies under Lu Ming's banner before, and is very familiar with their tactics, even if they have other forces behind them now and improve the overall quality, but the specific tactics will not change, I am confident to deal with them!" ”

"Good!" Chen Qing nodded: "Since you are confident, you are fully responsible for this Southeast Campaign, and I and Xi Zhen will solve the hidden high-end combat power, you remember, once the Southeast Campaign is opened, Yin Si will be opened, our time. Not much! ”
